Tehillim as a Prayer
For generations, Jews have turned to Sefer Tehillim The Book of Tehillim) for support in difficult times and to express themselves to G-d in all of their life’s situations. Although you can choose to say whichever chapter you prefer, and it will always be a merit for you, different Psalms in Tehillim are specifically powerful or relevant for different times in life.
You might hear someone suggest saying Tehillim when someone is sick or as a merit for success in a specific endeavor. If you’re looking for a shidduch marriage partner), or are dealing with anxiety, you might once again hear the recommendation to read some chapters of Tehillim.
Why Tehillim? The chapters of Tehillim were written with Divine inspiration by David Hamelech King David), and the words contain so much holiness and deep significance. Saying these words is not only comforting, but is also a powerful segulah to be helped with whatever your needs are at the moment.
However, although Tehillim has been proven extremely effective in helping people merit solutions to their problems, it’s important to keep in mind that Tehillim is not a vending machine, where you punch in the code to get the item you desire. Rather, Tehillim is a powerful way of connecting you with Hashem, your Creator. That deep connection makes you worthy of seeing a beautiful resolution to whatever has been bothering you.
So when you’re facing a difficulty or need some extra merit to fuel your day, turning to Tehillim as a prayer is a great idea, as long as you keep in mind that your purpose is to pray and connect to Hashem as the Ultimate Provider.
When to Say Tehillim for Success
When you’re facing a specific situation in life, or have a specific request from Hashem, you might turn to the chapters of Tehillim that are recommended for that unique situation. However, what many Jewish sages have recommended is to say some Tehillim every day, so that they all stand in your merit on the day you need help.
The Baba Sali, a holy Jewish tzaddik righteous person), recommends saying enough Tehillim every day to finish the entire sefer book) once a month. That might sound like a big undertaking, but if you make a habit of saying Tehillim at the same time every day, it might simply become part of your daily routine. The easiest way to finish Tehillim once a month is by following the done-for-you division of Tehillim into 30 sections, one for every day of the Hebrew month.
Each day’s section is between 5-10 chapters daily, and takes just a few minutes a day to recite. This division is listed in most books of Tehillim that are sold by Judaica sellers.
An additional recommendation for saying Tehillim for specific life challenges is to sit down and say the entire sefer book) in one day, from beginning to end. This has proven an extremely powerful segulah propitious act) for people in all kinds of difficulties. While this is a more significant undertaking for one person to do on his own, splitting up the Book between a group can also fulfill this segulah.
Whether you say just a few chapters of Tehillim or complete the entire book, you can find a prayer to recite immediately
afterwards right here.
Prayers for Strength, Prayers for Anxiety
Often, when you’re facing a difficult situation, the hardest part of the difficulty is dealing with the anxiety that comes along with it. For example, when you or a loved one is sick, it isn’t only the illness that you must deal with, but also the worry and fear over what may happen.
That’s where saying Tehillim can be a potent prayer for anxiety that comforts, calms, and reassures.
There are a few ways that Tehillim can help calm your anxiety. One, saying a prayer reminds you that Hashem, your Loving Father, is in control of the situation’s outcome. By reminding yourself that Hashem desires only to do good for you, that merit will surely stand you in good stead.
Second, the holy words of Tehillim have been invested with great spiritual power. When you say the chapters of Tehillim that are specifically relevant to the situation you are facing, you are invoking a very powerful merit that makes you worthy of help, success, and favorable outcomes.
Third, saying Tehillim as a prayer for anxiety is a constructive action you can take that calms the anxiety by channeling it into something productive. You know how you’ll fidget when you’re nervous, because you need to do something with all that excess nervous energy? Say Tehillim instead, and you’ll likely feel a much greater sense of relief.
This is how Tehillim chapters work as prayers for strength, as the meaning and strength of the words are imbued with the power to strengthen you through your challenges.

How often should you say Tehillim for parnassah? Many great Jewish tzaddikim righteous people) recommend saying some Tehillim every day.

What Tehillim to Say for Shidduch
Looking for one’s marriage partner in the journey of shidduchim can be a lonely endeavor. But when you have the chapters of Tehillim to accompany you, they serve as a companion and also a powerful merit to help you find your destined mate that much faster. One chapter of Tehillim that is specifically powerful for shidduchim finding one’s marriage partner) is chapter 121.
The first 2 verses of this chapter reads as follows:
Esa einai el heharim, mei’ayin yavo ezri? Ezri me’im Hashem oseh Shamayim va’aretz.
The translation is as follows:
I lift my eyes upon the mountains, from whence will come my help? My help comes from Hashem, Creator of Heaven and earth.
The Medrash tells us that Yaakov Avinu our forefather Yaakov) said these words as he ran away from his brother Eisav Esau). Yaakov composed this chapter of Tehillim to express his request that he find his marriage partner, as the Medrash explains that the word “ezri,” which means “help,” is a reference to the words “ezer k’negdo,” a term that refers to a wife. By reciting this chapter of Tehillim for a shidduch, you tap into the power of Yaakov Avinu’s prayer for a marriage partner, and his prayer links to yours. You’re also, in effect, acknowledging that Hashem is the One Who will send you your marriage partner – “My help comes from Hashem.”
This thought is a reassuring one, as you realize that at the exact moment that Hashem decrees is good for both of you, you will find the marriage partner that He has destined for you. If you want to create more merit that will help you in your path through shidduchim, there are many segulos for a shidduch that come from holy Jewish sources that you can fulfill.
Jewish Prayer for Peace
Shalom is the Hebrew word for peace, and in Judaism, peace is known as the kli vessel) that holds all bracha blessing). We all intuitively understand how important peace is on every level, from the individual and familial to the country and global level.
To each person, achieving peace means something else. Some people yearn for inner peace, rest for a turbulent spirit. Some people pray devoutly for peace in the world, for suffering to be no longer and all people to live together harmoniously.
The Jewish prayer for peace almost always comes back to the ultimate peace that will be found with the coming of Mashiach our Redeemer). When Mashiach comes, every kind of suffering and sorrow will vanish from the world, and in its place, an overarching peace on every level will reign.
In the times of Mashiach, every person will experience inner peace, there will be peace in families and between friends, and all the nations of the world will live in absolute peace as well. Therefore, while you can pray for peace in the moment, it’s even more advisable to pray for the speedy coming of Mashiach so that ultimate peace can reign for eternity.
